10 Months Old

10 months old and our little crazy man is walking and climbing.  We are going to have our work cut out for us as he gets older.  He is 10 months going on 2 years old.  He nearly runs everywhere so he can keep up with everyone.  He only wants to eat what we are eating – no baby food.  He is already picking on the other kids at daycare.   Just the other day he was trying to sit on the babies who were in the little bouncers and if he did not sit on them he pulled their socks off.  And the older ones he just would laugh and stick his finger in their ear.  He also has figured out how to use other objects so he can climb on top of things.   What!?  I am not sure if I should laugh or cry at this point.

Halloween 2014

I know this is nearly a month late but I will soon accept the fact that every event/holiday is going to be a little more hectic now that I have two kids.  Halloween was a little bit of a blur.  Cameron and I had just gotten back from a mini-vacation, Brynn had numerous activities going on at school that week and everyone in the house was playing catch up.  Brynn and I did a great job of painting the pumpkins the weekend before so we did not have to worry about trying to get them done after school during the week.  The last pumpkin got carved the night before Halloween - but at least we go to enjoy it for one night.

Brynn started her Halloween off at school with a Halloween “fashion show”, as she would call it.  She surprisingly was the only Elsa in the entire preschool.  They played games, colored, and had a creepy crawly lunch that they all helped prepare.  After school we stuck around for the Harvest Festival where Brynn enjoyed more games and the bounce houses.  She was happy to show us all of her friends and teachers, which we have met thousands of times.  Afterwards it was trick or treating time. 

Trick or treating was a blast.  Burke just sat in the stroller checking out all of the kids while Brynn went from house to house knocking on the doors herself, saying trick or treat and please and thank you.  This was the first year she understood what to do and wanted to participate.  She loved showing off her princess dress and taking in all of the complements.  A true princess at heart.  Poor Burke was just along for the ride, dressed up in his hand-me-down costume MOO!  It did not take long, and Brynn was ready to head home.  She was so tired from all of the excitement of the day and all of the walking.  A few pieces of candy later and Brynn was sleeping like a princess!!  And like always, Burke was wide awake ready for more MOO!
